Canada has won the Spengler 12 times, with the most recent championship coming in 2012 following a 7-2 final victory over Davos. Additionally, the team has been in the final in 10 of the last 13 years, which followed a four year stint as champions back in the late ’90’s.
Despite the success the team has achieved, fan interest back home is almost non-existent, leaving many of the heroic efforts achieved by Canada’s best players competing in Europe left almost unnoticed. A big portion of that has to do with Canada also competing at the World Juniors in Toronto and Montreal, but the lack of TV coverage and featuring players people would rather forget also play a factor into that. The tournament brings some of the most exciting hockey games of the year to our faces, but many people would rather forget it exists.
With that out of the way, let’s take a look at Canada’s 2014 effort, shall we?

MacIntyre is the first of two goaltenders to be announced for this tournament, as well as the first official AHLer to be loaned for the event. Last year, fomrer NHLer Chris Mason and AHL journeyman Allen York suited up for the team, with Rochester Americans starter Matt Hackett getting some ice time as well when injuries started to plague the Canadians. While it hasn’t been announced yet, Mason is believed to be one of the goalie options again this year, as well as former Pittsburgh Penguins puckstopper Sebastien Caron. Both goalies recently represented Canada at the Deutschland Cup in November, where the team was unable to secure a medal.
MacIntyre, 31, has posted a 7-9-1 record in 15 games with Charlotte this season. Additionally, he has yet to record a win in six career NHL games with Vancouver, Buffalo, Toronto and ...10 Dec 2014 08:17:08 -0500http://network.yardbarker.com/nhl/article_external/charlotte_checkers_goaltender_drew_macintyre_assigned_to_team_canada_for_spengler_cup/17880464

Teams get to the playoff and a goaltender plays out of his mind once there and takes his team to the championship. It can’t be overstated how important having solid, consistent play in the crease is. With that said, let’s take a look at top 5 goalies in the ECHL so far this season.
5. Olivier Roy, Idaho Steelheads

Roy’s stats are not in the top 5 in any category other then wins but he has played in 17 of the Steelheads 23 games. He is a workhorse. Idaho is at the top of the Western Conference and he is their guy. He has the playoff experience with both Stockton in 2013 and Kelly Cup champs Alaska in 2014. Idaho will continue to ride with Roy which is a good thing.

@AlisonL I know you could say this about a lot of teams….but you could make a pretty good team of current NHL ex CBJ'ers
— Jeff Strayer (@jeffstrayer) December 2, 2014
Well, @jeffstrayer, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!!
I went through the handy CBJ all-time roster and franchise draft picks using Hockey DB [roster here, draft picks here, if you want to peruse ‘em yourself], and put together a team I like to call the “Ex-CBJ Active All-Stars“. Okay so yeah, the name needs work, sue me.
I didn’t use many rules to put this together, beyond the fact that the player needed to still be an active professional in the NHL [although I *did* go outside the league for one player, because I’m a rebel!]. I also used CBJ draft picks who played in the NHL but never suited up for Columbus. That didn’t end up factoring in much, as only one player who fit that bill made the final cut. The top six depth is a bit suspe03 Dec 2014 12:31:55 -0500http://network.yardbarker.com/nhl/article_external/the_ex_cbj_active_all_stars/17833597

Some teams have looked really good, others not so much. It’s still early and teams have time to start winning but all we can do is judge them one what they’ve done so far. So once a month I’ll sit down and give you my opinion of the top 5 teams in each conference. We begin this week with the Top 5 Eastern Conference teams.
5. Florida Everblades (2-1-0-1)
The Everblades have been good so far this year. Other than a getting beat down 5-1 against a good Orlando Solar Bears team, Florida has been one of the top teams in the conference. Defenseman Matt Mangene leads the team in points (3 G, 5 Pts) but the goaltending play of Daniel Altshuller and Allen York will have to improve if the Everblades want to contend this year.
4. Evansville IceMen (2-0-0-0)
ICEMEN WIN. Evansville moves to 2-0. Patrick Kennedy had 2 goals and Danny Hobbs added a goal and an assist. http://t.co/MXeIp584qp

Canada. Talk about a thriller.

Not as much about the quality of hockey; it was good with both clubs producing scoring chances fairly often and the weekend ended in a Gophers sweep. But something was different about it. Something that took away some of the 'flavor' of the contest. It then struck me that it had to do with the fact the two schools were no longer in the same Conference. When both clubs were in the WCHA; not only did the fact that Minnesota versus Minnesota State created some buzz over who was going to claim bragging rights but the fans got into it as the teams would often play home at home series. Their was plenty of trash talk to be had and whether it was a high scoring affair or a low scoring chess-match of a game the intensity was unquestioned. This time, it was two teams playing one another in front of a crowd that was more apathetic than enthusiastic.
